Denim Cool Beats Outfit: Starting the New Year with FabKids.com

Disclosure: I received a sample product to help facilitate the review. All opinions stated are genuine and my own.

The night before last we met good friends for dinner at a restaurant. Having gone out of town for Christmas this year, we missed our annual 'holiday get-together' with them. This particular set of friends lives a pretty good distance from our home, and consequently we only see them a few times a year. They were pretty surprised to see how tall my youngest has gotten, and they were instantly enamored with the Denim Cool Beats outfit we selected for him this month from FabKids.com.

The Denim Cool Beats outfit comes with the long-sleeved Boombox Graphic Tee pictured above. I loved the bright blue on this one, and the retro boombox made it cool for him, and for us! Most people from my generation remember popping a cassette tape into a boombox and kickin' out the jams. That's what this picture reminds me of, and that makes me smile. Those were fun times...and music was the world!

The outfit also comes with the Classic Straight Denim bottoms. These pants are heavy-duty denim (great for the winter!), and they come in either light or medium wash. This is the medium wash pictured above.

What sells me on FabKids is not that their selections look great (and they always do!), but that they are made to last. We have a few of their outfits, and each and every one of them has been washed over and over again, with no fading or wear to show for it. That means better value for your money, and who doesn't love that?

Fun options are always integrated into the clothing too-such as the 'Have a Rad Day' sign printed on the inside of the waistband.

Practical waist adjustment elastic on the inside of the pants.

I also love that FabKids has a built-in waist adjuster (elastic) on the inside of the pants. My son is the right height for his age, but he's very thin. In order to get pants that are long enough for him, but still fit at the waist, I always look for the waist adjuster. That way I can simply pull the elastic on each side, several button notches, and woohoo, a perfect fit (up and down, and around!).

See that box barely visible in the top-left corner?

Back to the restaurant, we had a grand old time visiting our friends. And do you see that gift-wrapped box in the corner of the picture above? You can just barely make it out on the top left...

That box had a remote-control car in it for little man.Remote control cars, lead to very happy faces in our house. ;)

Inside that box was a remote-control, climb-anything car for a certain FabKids-wearing fab kid that I know. ;) Let's just say, remote-control cars make for happy smiles in our house. :) That, and our visit last night with grandma and grandpa coming over officially concluded our holiday. It was a long holiday season for us, and a bit unusual at that, considering we traveled, but it was still awesome. I'm happy FabKids was a part of it.

FabKids is a monthly subscription service that allows you to select an outfit of choice, and have it delivered right to your doorstep. Each month you are charged (unless you don't want to be!) the pre-designated amount for an outfit. The credit goes into your FabKids account, and you can order any outfit of choice, when you want to order it. In any given month, if you don't want to be charged for an outfit, you simply note that by the due date (the due date to say you don't want to order anything for the month). There's no obligation or minimum number of anything to buy, ever! And you get what you want, when you want it. It's as easy as that, really, and we love it!

Founded in part by actress Christina Applegate, the FabKids line of clothing is fresh, stylish, and fun. And in addition to that, they've always got some great deals going on over at their website. Right now they're offering 20% off the first outfit or item for new members (membership is free).

I've been dreading the day that my baby boy can no longer use the extender sides on his pants, and starts to lose the baby chub cheeks and starts looking like a little boy. Unfortunately it's right around the corner. He just told me that the boombox shirt is awesome.

Fab kids has amazing clothes for children indeed. I also love that the pants have an adjustable waist band inside the pants. This was always a plus when I would buy pants for my kids. Thanks for sharing.,

What a cute outfit and he is very cute too. For whatever reason I could not make my 12 yr old son wear denim jeans. He said it feels uncomfy. This might fixed his problem. I will check out more of their products.

I am digging that shirt. Honestly, if they had one in my size I would totally wear it. I also wish my jeans told me to have a rad day too. It would make me feel super special. Who says adults can't have any fun?

I love this outfit- he definitely does look as if he's having a rad day :PThose elastic waist adjusters are a God-send eh? I love them! When one snaps though.....ohhhh no. I get so panicked and then I remember, "Oh yeah, when I was a kid, I used a belt" and go to dig one out haha.

Oooh, lucky kid getting the denims and the top. FabKids is one of the trusted brands when it comes to kids clothing. It's stylish ( yup, even for kids ) and is a total value-for-money. My aunts get my cousins a lot of stuff from FabKids.

My son would definitely benefit from this but he wears uniforms and barely gets use of the clothes in his already packed closet. I love that they are elastic inside because my son is also the right height, but often the pants are too big in the waist.
